Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 8607 when importing or exporting railway or tramway locomotives, rolling stock, or their parts. For example, if you're shipping a set of driving bogies for a locomotive, this heading is relevant.

To differentiate between subheadings, consider the specific parts you are dealing with. If your shipment includes driving bogies, use 860711. However, if it contains bogies that are not driving, you should classify it under 860712.

When your shipment involves axles and wheels, you should refer to 860719. This subheading is specifically for those components, while other parts like air brakes fall under 860721. Make sure to choose the correct line based on the exact nature of the parts.

For miscellaneous parts not specifically covered, such as other coupling devices or buffers, you would use 860730. If the parts are not elsewhere classified, 860791 for locomotives or 860799 for rolling stock may apply.
